Three individuals form a partnership and agree to divide the profits equally. X invests $9,000, Y invests $7,000, Z invests $4,000. If the profits are $4,800, how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?

\n" ); document.write( "Step #1: Determine the percentage X invested, as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "Total invested = 20,000
\n" ); document.write( "X invested 9000= 45% of the Total.
\n" ); document.write( "Step #2: Determine the amount of profit X would receive based
\n" ); document.write( "on his 45% contribution, as follows:
\n" ); document.write( " 45%(4800)= $2160
\n" ); document.write( "Step #3: Determine the amount of profit X will receive if the
\n" ); document.write( "profit is divided equally, as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "4800/3= 1600
\n" ); document.write( "Step #4: Determine the difference between 2160 and 1600
\n" ); document.write( "It is $560 \r
